Beautiful. What more can I say, really. The angle and framing/cropping is perfect. Focus and clarity are great. the lighting is wonderful too. Great colors and such a pretty view. Nothing to complain about here. Great job. Good luck in the challenge.

This sunrise is near-as-dammit a carbon copy of the sunrise in my picture for this challenge. Lovely warm reflections on the windmill. Say, if you want to see a windmill photo that'll blow your socks off, take a look at my landscape album at www.picturetrail.com/freezethemoment. Well done and good luck.

This is a nice shot but I feel the lines could have been composed a little better. Nice colors.

Nice windmill. everyone has such cool stuff to photograph. Ok, I do too. I just see it all the time. I would not crowd the right side with the windmill blade, move it in a little. There is a nice red color in the scene so I would try to show more of the red grass or shrubbery in the foreground. As it is you are just tempting us with it. Technically it looks very sharp and clean. Nice job. 8

Try cropping bottom to elimanate plants at lower right. Nice that fence leads the eye to the windmill.

This is an exquisite image! The tones on the windmill are deadon and the lines are excellent as well. Best of all in this low light invitation, the image is well focused. Good luck!
